Update: I should have clarified that you can only choose ONE weapon at the start but you discover the others later and they act as "keys" to reach new areas. Hey SwitchUp Family - I wen't a bit ODD at the start there hahaha. I hope this review is of use to you! Mark

I just beat it. I loved the first game but this one was disappointing: 1. As you say, it’s very safe. They are still stealing verbatim from SOTN (warps, elevators…) 2. It’s way too easy to the point of being boring. Most bosses can be beaten on the 2nd or 3rd try. Regular enemies pose almost no danger 3. The red disc prayer is completely OP 4. There is basically no penalty for death. You can get back your lost guilt anytime so there is no need to pick up your “bloodstain” again 5. Most of the weapon power ups are useless and I never used them except the one that replenishes your health 6. The music is good but the first game was better 7. I quickly got loads of money but there’s nothing really to spend it on Still a fun game I guess but I was hoping for so much more 6/10

@dangerousdays2052 9 месяцев назад

B1 had better tone, atmosphere, characters, and storytelling. B2 had better gameplay, exploration, and map design. I feel like B2 also missed the mark on art direction since most of the areas and enemies were forgettable compared to the distinct gothic horror style of the first. Also, it was way too EZ.

@the8wave 10 месяцев назад

Although I’m having a blast playing this one there are some things I miss from the original. Like the executions. In the first game every enemy had a unique execution animation. They stick with a basic animation in this one, minus a few unique kills for certain enemies. Also, although I do appreciate never getting lost or confused in any way and always knowing where to head next, I sort of miss the more cryptic nature of the first one. It felt more souls like, whereas this one feels much more metroidvania like. In any case, I can’t wait for the DLC and some possible new skins.

@calyppou 10 месяцев назад

Blasphemous is one of my favourite games of all time, and surely the best metroidvania in my opinion. The artstyle, the setting, the sense of dread... Pure gold. I would have bought it blindfolded, but now that it has an 89% from you guys I gonna buy it with a lighter heart. Thank you!

@Anni_ka 10 месяцев назад

@@Ser-Smiley Damn that sucks! I hope you can save up the money for a PS5 quickly! Although, depending on how second-hand prices are where you live, I'd say go for the disc version cause finding good deals for physical games is much easier. I think it equals out the higher price point of the disc version. Oh and I'd also recommend getting some external storage thingy, cause games add up quickly 🫠 Urgh, I know...maybe I can find a good deal for it next time I'm shopping for physical Switch games 😅

Blasphemous is one of my all time favorite metroidvanias, and I can't wait to play this one. My only gripe with this at first glance is the notable absence of Mea Culpa, the iconic weapon from the first title. Hopefully there will be ways to unlock it or something.

So wait, I’m a little confused. Near the beginning you say that we can choose only one of the three main weapons, yet later on you talked about switching weapons. Are those other weapons like sub weapons of some kind? Or do you later gain access to the other main weapons as the game progresses?

silksong is supposed to be about 5 times the size of the first hollow knight, and i've seen people say they wouldn't pay $30 for it, simply because it's an indie game. that's just stupid to me. imo the first hollow knight is easily worth $60. it's bigger, more fun, and more polished than many triple a games that cost $60+. hollow knight is already a huge game, the biggest metroidvania i've played by far, so if silksong is actually 5 times bigger, i'd gladly pay $60 for it. i hope they at least charge $30, they deserve at least that. they could have split it into 4 games that are all a little bigger than the original hollow knight, and sold them for $20 a piece. unlike aaa developers though, they're not simply thinking about how they can weasel their fanbase out of as much money as possible.
